Do I need to replace the radiator?

Hey I'm new to the forum so I think I'm putting this in the right spot but not sure..
Alright main thing is I lost control going around a corner today and I ended up in a stone wall, I need to replace my bumper but not sure about my radiator, the bottom of it is dented up on the right side and some of the coil things are hanging out the bottom, I'm taking it to A mechanic soon I just want to know what to expect. It's an 02 ex coupe btw, Thanks

If there is any coil hanging anywhere definately. Radiators are cheap, overheated engines are not...

Overheating or loss of coolant, heater blowing cold
